001Anyway, good evening and welcome to the July 1st, 2025 regular session board of education. If you would please stand with me for the pledge. [Music] I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. [Music] Board members, a couple things on the agenda and agenda. Um, to clean this up a little bit, we're going to do two things. I think we're going to remove item nine, organization designations. uh we have those designated for two years and we did those at the last reorganization of the board. Uh in addition on your personnel uh there is a duplication uh item on page eight of the personnel on your regular agenda. Uh item D, we need to rename
002that to F. And then the next one down there, compensate the following individual for textbook review on May 2nd. We're going to remove that there on page seven as well. [Applause] Other than that, you do have an agenda with a number of personnel items and a number of budgetary uh items to review as well and checks. Uh if you've had time to review and are in agreement, I'll entertain a motion to approve the amended agenda and agenda. So move. Thank you. Second. Thank you. Any concerns or comments? All those in favor saying I. I post none. The eyes carry it. Thank you very much. Uh presentations this evening. Um who gets this one? This is a tag team event. No, you're not coming up to this conversation. Morgan Morgan County Schools roof improvement plan for
0032526. All right, that's some great news and then you can start off with that and Yeah, absolutely. Um, so we were awarded our MIP submission for placement springs High School. So that is a huge plus. So that means that building will be taken care of. This I have a meeting scheduled with Greg Martin here. I have to be in Willie next week and him and I are going to sit down because we've got several big projects right now going on to get more solidified timelines for when those take place. So uh we should have more information for you about the next board meeting as to when how that will work, how it will roll out. Um, so what we've provided here is kind of like a flowchart as to what if and what not and
004if so and all those good things. So the first one right here is under B Springs High School a building and that is taken care of. So that one receive funding for that. So that means that building will receive a new roof during the 2526 school year. Um, so let's move over here to the other two schools that we also put in for needs in the past. So in War Springs Middle School and War Springs Intermediate School with receiving funding from Berkeley Springs High School a building, our plan is to take local funds and patch priority areas as soon as we can uh to get those areas squared away. Uh and then our next step below in both of those is to submit them both as a needs project this fall uh for 2020 uh
0052025. And then if not awarded, of course, we get these roofs patched. We've got them, we've got the priority areas patched at least, and then we're we're at least keeping those areas dry, you know, not leaking as bad as they were. Um, and then the next step is under that uh under Warm Springs Middle School, uh, you will see that it says submit for SBA MIP in spring of 2026. If you recall, the MIP submissions cannot be more than a million dollars. They so we would have to just pick one roof. Uh the middle school was built in 1999. Uh it's ultimately the one that has the more severe lease rather than intermediate school. So we would just submit just for that group. Um and then below that, of course, it stays the same. If
006it were not awarded, we we patch those areas. If we need to patch more areas, we can. Um and then under the last one underneath the middle school and the last one for War Springs Intermediate School is again to take those back to the SBA next fall. So ultimately all roofs will be addressed during this 25 26 school year um in some way or fashion, but I with the two with the two buildings uh intermediate and middle, we're going to really focus on getting those areas patched before even we get into the fall because we're not just going to rely on SBA funds. We've been pretty fortunate here recently uh from the SBA, so we're thankful for that. Um but you know to those those uh need submissions are mainly new. There's a lot of
007buildings being built across the state. Um you know it's tough to get some of that. So we have to address that locally and that's what we're planning to do. So that's kind of our flow chart. Sorry it's not as big as it look my computer screen when I printed it down. Um but that's where it is. Colors match. Colors match. Good job. I got three questions put on the spot though. um our BSH BSHs the roof we got reported for are we going to do that during the school day or that be after hours? So that's my question for Greg is how you know can it be can it be done during the day? It's not we're not removing big items. I don't I don't see a problem with it but that's not a me
008call on that. But I think that I'm hoping that we can just move with it because I don't want to be cuz roofs are not like the roof materials are not the same boat as HBAC materials where you have these big lead times. They're those materials are pretty quick. So I'm hoping that it's possible. You know, we have some PL days and we have some breaks and we have some things scheduled throughout the fall where hopefully we may get it done even if kids are in the building. So that would that would be the goal or if it can be during the evening, something like that, because I'd like to move on that one pretty quick. Great. We can't wait to hear back what Greg has to say on a number of those items. Um
009have a tentative budget for what you're going to spend on patching or thought to spend on patching over the next We're getting those quotes done. We're hoping to get those sooner than later so that we have a budget for that. Um I should have them by the next board meeting. Are are you having someone to grade the that be an engineer or is it just the roofer you're going up to look and see are roofers that are just coming out and giving me uh SM5 to get free. So um I have three roofers that are that have experience with working on school buildings. One did the windm so um I won't put you on the spot. question more I have is the areas you're quoting out to each different one are they already designated so
010I would say yes to that because it's ultimately areas where we've had to replace all of our ceiling tiles those areas have been you mean like designated where we've proven that they have leaks and problem area yes that's okay so um yeah I mean they're the roofers they they I mean water can come over here but I as you know can create a problem over here um you know so it runs so they have to and then we have to look for damage of did it create any damage since it's been doing that so getting three contractors in a room will never agree what shade of white something yeah separate they they come separate right I'm learning and I'm learn yes they come separate so whenever they come to look at them one may have
011I don't know about over there maybe over here That was more my concerning question. Okay. Um, on the submission for fall of 25, are we looking to do the ma same match that we kind of did for this prior project or are we going to with the money we're spending there going to reduce that? We'll probably have to look at a little more closely when we see what the patching is going to cost. But we know that it cost us $325 for a complete cover. So, um, cuz I've got those estimates, so I don't know. 325,000. 325,000. Yes. So, we know that that's what it costs for a complete cover for the estimates. Now, I have to have them come back and give me estimates for just patching areas. So, I don't know how close
012that's going to be to that or not, but Okay. I would say too that the cost of these things and these and the estimates have went way down. Um, you know, we we were um we we gave back some money on our HBAC project, the SBA. Um, so the the cost and the estimates are going down a little bit. Um, and that HBAC went down tremendously. Superintendent I I just so we wanted to present this to you so that you and the public know that uh we have a plan. In other words, we're not just continuously applying for SBA projects with the hope that we get funded. We needed to have a plan that if we don't get funded, what are we going to do? Because we want to protect our buildings. We want to
013make sure that the buildings are safe um and free of leaks. And so that's why we're presenting this to you tonight so that you you know, we do have a plan because you can't rely on SBA funding. You just never know. So, no, I'm I'm glad you've done this and I think sends the public message. My question is when the roofers are done, do they do we do an inspection on this to make sure the job's been done well or we wait for what kind of accountability do we have? I mean, we we've had they they do do a warranty with their work. Okay. Um Yes. So if we run like you know when we run into a problem or we run into a leak like we have with viruses the loopin they come out
014and fix the leak. Terrific. So they put that in I think it's a year or five years 5 years warranty. Well I know from personal experience chasing chasing leaks is is maddening sometimes because I I don't know how many times I thought I had something fixed and did not. So I just want to make sure that our kids aren't getting drops on their head anymore. So those those companies will have an accountability and if we're not getting something they're obligated to come back as part part of the contract. Terrific. Good to hear. Thank you. If we do, you know, say we make these patches at the middle school, intermediate school, is there any idea like how long this patch is going to be effective for? It's been it's been mix and match when in talking
015with with Greg. It's it's basically you're hoping for a quick fix it. He said basically you can depend on those for maybe two to 5 years depending on how well it is. That that's kind of been what I've been given and just in passing with them. Uh so anywhere from 2 to 5 years. Okay. That's why the ultimate goal is to get them replaced and you know what. Ultimately, if if we have to do the quick fixes, which we have to get that taken care of, that's that's kind of where that passion comes into play. I understand what you have to do now, but ultimately I'd like to see the whole thing off and start over again. Just curious, but like a middle school, how many areas are really? Um, I mean, it's not a
016bunch. It's it's it's crazy because it depends on the the volume of rain. Um there are certain areas that always leak when we have raintorms and then there will be if it's a heavy storm like yesterday like this past week um you know there'll be an area over here that will pop up. So it's it's it's finding those it's finding those main ones and then we can kind of chase those little ones as they pop up and depending on the volume of rain that we receive. Our roots got tested this spring if you guys didn't know that. Just saying it's running out there. All right. Absolutely. Thank you very much. We appreciate that. Thank you. Keep us posted. We'll be talk about it again. Reports and communications uh for just I just have two things.
017Uh even though we did remove the designate two board members for the committees, uh unless there is a objection, we're going to keep those meetings on a quarterly basis just like we have been the past few years. Um and the next thing is that I see grass already growing down football field where we had a fix. So that's great to see. Board members Yeah. Any news on the uh I was going to mention that uh Morgan County and and and the kids in general lost two good friends recently. Rob Campbell, who was well known in the health department, but in his retirement had been big on our um observatory committee and had been very um supportive of our community center and u he will definitely be missed. And then Jim Michael who goes back to
018the time when when the flood control dams were built in Morgan County and who's always a strong proponent of that and conservation in general and giving out trees and all the other things that uh were done. Um Jim is a giant in every sense physically but uh the things he's done to to improve and you know I think about some of these hard rains and I think where we would be if we didn't have those dams out there. I wouldn't even want to think with new paving and all that. So, um, you know, he certainly will be missed. Very nice mention. Superintendent. Yeah, just a couple things. Um, we received an email from the state superintendent yesterday expressing concern about the US Department of Ed possibly holding grant funds, the title grant funds, title one,
019two, three, four. We'd have an update. Just got it by email. They were going to send an update out today at 4:00. So, I'll just read this. There's not really a whole lot of additional information, but it's from Michelle Glatt, state superintendent. Unfort Unfortunately, I do not have additional information regarding the US Department of Ed holding of the grant funds mentioned last night. They talked us through what it could mean, but we're unable to provide any clarifications on timelines. Um Margaret Williamson and Ammon Gilliam will work on an email for federal program directors with the information we have available at this time and keep them updated. So that's something we did not expect to see. Um every district in the whole country would be in trouble if this goes through. Um we don't know where
020the emphasis would be if it be on title two or title one. Uh any of those would affect us in a negative way. But as you remember when we were just getting started with staffing and personnel season, um we were planning on reducing federal positions and then they said, "No, don't worry about it. We're going to be safe for this year." So, we held back on that. So, now u there's potential for some some cuts um that we don't really know anything uh any specifics on. So, I'll keep you posted, but um we were kind of shocked to get that email as treasurer CFOs got the same email. So, keep you posted. Um staffing update. I wanted to mention that tonight because this is the time of year when everybody, you know, wonders how how
021we're doing with staffing. And um I don't have any numbers, but as you can see from the agenda, we're not we're doing well. We're keeping people at a really good uh pace right now. Um, this is the time right around the end of June to July when people are looking for jobs. It doesn't mean that when August rolls around, we won't have five people on the agenda, but um I'm pleased so far with the number of folks we've been uh able to retain uh in our schools that uh need to be in front of kids every day. So, so far so good. Um Jeremy mentioned in the HBAC at HB at BSHS. Um is there some additional information you want to share with that? So um so we had our first progress meeting yesterday uh
022morning. Um and basically we're told from the get go we're going to start on June 3rd and of course you guys drive by every day just like I do and there's been no movement. Right. So first progress move. Uh so there will be a movement in there uh starting tomorrow. Um and then basically it will be there will be a lot of activity uh starting Monday. Uh of course this week is a holiday weekend. Um but ultimately what was said yesterday is that they expect to be done in 2 weeks once they get started. Uh it's not a big project so they were not concerned about they have a deadline of July 31st to have everything completed. So, looks like in in hearing everything yesterday that they have all the equipment that's needed and that
023basically uh tomorrow and Thursday are small inside things preparing the cafeteria to be able to get up in the ceiling and then basically Monday is is all hands on deck. So, that's that's kind of where that project is. Should be done pretty fairly soon. And then last thing I have is a summer school update. our numbers. Uh we have 30 students enrolled at Berkeley Springs High School, mostly in a credit, well, are those all credit recovery scenarios? And then, uh Warm Springs Intermediate, which is where our um our program is for the third grade success act, is at 40 and then Paw Schools has six students. Um so that enrollment is up and down quite a bit. Um, as you might expect there, people take vacations and so students will miss a few days here
024and there, but things are going well. I I'm really pleased with how Energy Express and summer program are meshing together. Um, Miss Clint talk some of Clint has been out there on a regular basis monitoring and and says things are going very well. I will also add that we have some extraordinary teachers out there working with kids and we were fortunate enough to get the u the energy express workers out there too through uh West Virginia extension office. So things are going well. Um I think we would be uh we would really want to duplicate that again next year so far uh because I'm just just pleased that the enrollment's up from last year. Remember we're feeding students so that makes a difference. It is uh close to a full day program which also helps
025because parents are looking for uh programs that are more full day and not half day due to transportation. So things are going well and uh I'll continue to update you. And lastly, um I just like to welcome Vicki tonight. This is her first board meeting. So welcome to Vicki and her first day of work today. Um B uh Vicki was uh finance secretary at Berkeley Springs High School and is now the executive secretary for us and for you guys. So if you need anything, she's your person. Maybe not right away. She might she might uh need to ask some questions, but uh we're just excited to have her and uh just want to welcome her tonight. Thank you. Welcome members. Any questions? Superintendent Item eight, consent agenda. The superintendent recommends approval of the following consent
026actions as presented. Minutes of the June 3rd, 2025 regular meeting, payment of bills, budget adjustments, volunteers, and you do have a couple of early graduations. Entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. So move. I'll second it. Any comments or concerns? All those in favor of saying I nay. Eyes carries. Thank you. We are on to personnel. Superintendent recommends approval of the following personnel actions as presented. I'm going to recuse myself. Uh you're welcome to go through the entire personnel list. All right. So, as Mr. Banks said, we've been working pretty hard through all this for the past few weeks. I feel like for every meeting um but ultimately just jump in here real quick, professional personnel on the agenda. We have a retirement from consumer science teacher and family consumer science teacher
027at Warren Middle School. Uh we have under number two resignations, we have three substitute teacher resations. Um, under employment, we are bringing on a PE teacher, a health PE teacher at Burger Springs High School. We're bringing on a school psychologist. Um, we are bringing on a tenerate prek PSS teacher. Bring on a fifth grade teacher at Pleasant View. Uh, letter E, we're bringing on a substitute teacher. Letter F, another substitute teacher. And finally, we're bringing on a multiAT special education teacher with autism at my one mention of letter B. um that position has been in our budget. We've just been unable to find anyone over the last I'm not sure how many years, but definitely this past year and the year before. So, it's in the budget. It's just we was fortunate enough to find
028someone this this time individuals already relocated to our area. So, on that um under letter B for service personnel, uh we're have a resignation there for a substantive secretary. Um under transfer um we have bus operator 1407 going to school bus supervisor that position is a 225day position. We have 900 special education aid autism mentor at Pleasant going to ECAT or elementary ECAP at Whitmire. Um over on the other side of that we are bringing on an unassigned bus operator and we're also bringing on a kindergarten uh teacher a early third ball as well. Under number four there restructure. We're asking that the custodian 3 uh truck driver 240 days here at the county that does all the port office transportation does all delivery of foods. We're we're asking to restructure that to stay and
029what that's going to allow us to do is allow that individual uh to uh take on all of the ordering of supplies for the county. Um, and basically that's going to take that off of maintenance that's been on them for now, which will give us a true three-man team to where we're not where that one individual is not constantly ordering materials for buildings. Um, and so and also that will help us with um this this person will help us with PE and on PL days for our custodians. Um, so that's for number four. Um, number five, we have another bus operator coming on a summer substitute. Letter C, we have an MC3 site coordinator resignation. We have a head golf coach at Wars Middle School resignation. Under number two, we're bringing on an assistant cross
030country coach at Burkus Springs High School and an assistant football coach at Burkus Springs High School. Under letter D, the first one there is for textbook review. The second one is for project lead the way training. Third is for project lead the way training. The next one on the next page is for letter course work. The next one is for letter course work. And then uh the next one there is professional staff development. You get your page. There's the one that has the big list. Sorry, I don't want to confuse you guys with letters cuz there's letters all over the place in my paper too. Um the next one there with the list is for John Sanji M P event on June 5th. The next one is for project leadway training from June 3rd to
031June 13th. The next one is for letters from December 7th through December 17th. And then we have a project lead the way training from June 9th to June 30th. All those project lead the way are reflective of a grant that is provided to Morgan County Schools. And so all that funding is through that grant. All right. I'm sorry. Let me ask real quick that number eight. I mean that's a pretty late I mean that's a Did she wait this long to to pass for I can't answer that. I don't know if she had misplaced or what happened. She's generally really good with those kind of things. Um so I don't know if she had misplaced or what happened with that one. Make sure we didn't pay her twice. Yeah. Not that she didn't deserve it,
032but um under the agenda, we have resation as a per teacher at Woodmire. Um under employment, um this individual is online listening. Um I believe in Michigan. Is that correct? Michigan. So we excited to bring Mr. Le is in as a principal at Springs Intermediate School. Um he has been with us in multiple capacities throughout this as a teacher at intermediate school with teacher middle school. Um so we're excited to bring him back um and get that ball rolling at the intermediate school. Anything you want to add to that? Yeah, I just say we had a very good pool of applicants. Um it's a as you know Warm Springs Intermediate School is on the rise of one of the best schools in the state and we had a good pool of applicants. Mr. Lyens comes
033to us from Frederick County where he has a wealth of experience as an assistant principal and also as working in a central office and extremely strong curriculum instruction background. So he will uh fit in very nicely in that role at Form Springs. Under letter B, uh substitute teacher. So under letter B, we have service personnel. So this goes back to that brief structure on the agenda. Um so this individual will be coming from the intermediate school to that custodian board position. Uh and that individual will be starting on July 7th. Thus uh we have an unassigned bus operator going to bus 2626 operator or transmission operator bus operator sorry. And then the letter C connects to letter A and then also to the other one on the agenda. That individual will be going from custodian
0343 at Berkeley Springs High School to custodian 3 at Warren Springs Intermediate School and that start date will be July 16th. That just gives us time to hire that position in between now and the next and give it and give time for uh transition. Um we have a change of classification there. we have an individual that finished her autism mentor classes. And then under extracurricular uh extra duty assignments, we have an assistant volleyball coach resignation. We have assistant cheer resignation. We have a head girls basketball coach at War Springs Middle School resignation. We have a year sponsor middle school resation. Under number two for employment, we're bringing on a volunteer assistant location. We're bringing on athletic director at Berkeley Springs High School.

I sent six and we got two responses to

Any concerns? Any comments? All those in favor of saying I oppos. Going right along. School is going to start in what? 49 days. Holy cow. Approved bus routes for the 25 26 school year. And I'm assuming we're going to publish these or do we? Yeah, we publish them every year. They have to be approved first and then they get published the Wednesday before school actually starts. Thank you. That's what I thought. They don't get published. Do not publish them this month. No. Yeah. They get published the Wednesday right before the right before school starts. Perfect. May I have a motion? Some move. Second.
042Uh only question. Do we send these off? Tammy, do we send these off to park for review as well? Uh no, we don't have to send them off because we're not doing anything new. Oh, I have to get new stuff approved, not existing. Not existing things. Yeah. Thank you. But we do I mean we do have to send year we do have to send reports like uh uh every year we have to send um student the amount of time the students are overriding our buses and stuff like that but we don't have to do anything with routes unless if we create a new route. Okay. And then we have to get that approved. So will the buses be used in the bypass? Um I you know I don't really Yeah, I'm not sure yet if
043we're I think we're going to just let her let everybody else test it out um and see how it goes uh before we get on there. But I'm I'm hopeful that that will take the bypass really doesn't do too much for us as far as our routing. Um because we you know get us from one school to the other. It would take us longer to go around than it would to actually just go down through town. But we'll we'll venture out there. But I just kind of want to see how traffic patterns and how people behave on that because that is it's just like a speedway up through there. I'm thinking maybe we might be safer staying in town. Central. Do you think once the bypass is completed that the bus routes might become shorter
044because there's less traffic? I think so. Um, that's what I'm hoping because we uh, you know, we're 30 minutes um, getting out of town, you know, um, if we have to start at the high school and load and then go downtown and then, you know, head out on our routes or if they start south and start at the intermittent school and middle school and then have to work their way back to town. Um the bus drivers leave the bus garage at 2:45 and um they don't they the last bus loads at mid miner at 3:25. So we're we're just sitting loading and getting through traffic in all that time. So, I'm hoping that we might be able to cut some of that down if we're not just sitting in traffic cuz I know sometimes even
045when I drive, it's I'm I'm sitting in traffic for sometimes 15 minutes just getting leaving the high school turning right on route 9. So, I'm hopeful that that might cut down some of our afternoon our times for the afternoon. The mornings it's not really going to do much for us cuz we stagger in at the schools. the afternoon all parents and all buses are showing up at the same time which is where the congestion I I have concerns with people and how they are using the Johnson's Mill and the Sugar Hollow area the way they turn there and the bus is crossing there. Uh that would I would ask and maybe test that out a little bit before we have a kill on the bus to cross that bypass both sides cuz you're going to
046need to, right? We have to uh we we cross that bypass now up there. We have been doing that um since they've opened it up this year. Oh, you have been doing that for for summer school. We have No, we've been doing that for this school year since uh we've been going up that hill cuz we have u several houses are still up at the top there and we have a spot up there where we pick up and come back down. But you know cross traffic cross traffic? No, we haven't had it. Yeah, you're right. No, not until Well, the very end of the school year, I think they opened it up, didn't they? Or they No, that's Oh, you're talking about the 522 traffic now coming in. Yes. Yes. That cross traffic right there
047and those that are turning there are sometimes lost in what they're doing. I've pulled out a few times and so that cross traffic for that bus coming across there is going to be at Y. So, but I haven't made up my mind totally what we're going to do there. Check it out. Yeah. So, I was letting things it kind of die down a little bit. See how it goes. And uh but yeah, that is a stop. We have a stop up there. We have one family. Um I've been in contact with her. Any other comments or discussion? [Music] Motion on the floor.
